I’m new to crypto and there are a few things I need help with. (Thank you all in advance)

So I’m new two crypto and I need help with these things.

-I’m looking for a TradingView chart alternative that has Canadian prices and allows me to draw trending lines and save my layouts. (TradingView doesn’t seem to have btc/cad charts)

-I also need advice on which sites to use for buying/selling btc and exchanging altcoins. I set up a QuadrigaCX account to buy btc/ltc with CAD and I set up a Binance account to trade altcoins.

However I was wondering if there is a way to buy/sell btc/ltc with usd while living in Canada. This way I could use the TradingView chart and then convert to cad on quadrigacx whenever I want to make a fiat withdrawal.

Since I’m new to crypto I don’t really have all day to watch my btc/ltc. I need a way to hold it and I would use Binance but I don’t know if I can trust holding with tether. Basically I’m wondering if there is a exchange or wallet that allows me to trade btc/ltc for altcoins and then hold what I own in fiat when I’m not trading. I know when I’m done trading altcoins I could just send my btc/ltc back to quadrigacx and hold in Canadian dollars, but I also want to buy/sell with usd so that I can use the TradingView charts, and I don’t believe you can buy/sell ltc with usd on quadrigacx.

I hope I explained what I meant well enough but I can try to explain what I’m looking for further if anyone needs me to. I had a hard time typing out the question because I know what I want to ask but I don’t know how to ask it.

Hey thanks for the advice! I haven’t heard of shakepay until now so I’ll definitely check it out. I tried using coin base/gdax but I couldn’t trade btc/usd only btc/eth or btc/ltc, etc. I’ll check out bitmex and look into leverage trading although I’m very new so I don’t know what it entirely means. Also I’ll dm you for your Twitter. Thanks again!

I would vouch for Shakepay, I believe Shakepay currently has one of the BEST turnaround times, i personally believe now hard to refute Shakepay as the #1 Canadian exchange, with its fees now dropped to 0.75% fees. With recent event of cibc and quadriga cx I'm glad there's a secure fast etransfer option like shakepay. It's worked with td, cibc and rbc for me. I just wish there was an option for candlestick charting, but I know that's not shakepay main service.

It might not be helpful to you, but when I started out I gave up on CAD or USD values. It didn't matter to me in trading alt coins. I focused on the BTC value instead and building the amount of BTC in my portfolio. I will only start worrying about fiat values when I am ready cash out.

I just found this made the whole undertaking easier. But it really depends on what you are looking to gain out of this, short term investment versus long term.

Thank you, that makes sense when trading alt coins. I’m just concerned about where to hold profits in a stable position when strictly trading btc back and forth with fiat. I could hold on quadrigacx when trading btc/usd or btc/cad. The only problem with that is quadrigacx doesn’t have a stop loss or anything if I wanted to leave it over night or something.
